Another journal

Written during my month of writing.  You can find all the sections here.

“Y’know, I’ll go along with anything here, you guys are the experts.” Emily perched on the edge of the hammock, body tensed against falling back into the fabric. She pulled on her cigarette, eyes flicking to her aunt. “But this is weird. I mean, it is and it isn’t.”

Janice sighed and leaned against the porch railing, cradling a glass of tea. “You’re so dang wired, I should have dosed you with cough syrup last night so you’d get some sleep.” She pushed herself standing and looked down at her niece. Palming her forehead, Janice shoved Emily into the hammock. “Lay the hell back and tell me what you’re bringing.” She resumed her slouch against the railing. “And don’t set my damn hammock on fire.”
